Pro Chef Learns How to Make a Raindrop Cake | Bon Appétit

peanut butter and jelly bread. The only thing I'm worried about is that this is I'm going to color the water, okay, yeah, say, hey, I'm going to break this. I honestly wish it was a little more charred. I'm going to put these guys back up so the only thing about

raindrop

cake

is that the

raindrop

itself doesn't have a flavor and that seems like a missed opportunity but I definitely want to be mindful to

make

it clear, that's so good, well, it's coloring it, okay, not great, I'm just adding a little bit of sugar and salt, okay, let's strain it. this, I'm making a secondary strain, I don't hate the color of this, I must say, and that's it You know, we'll bring something new to the conversation, if we test the pH, it's between five point five and five point seven five, so it's down by 0.25, which is good, we're still in the range, so I'm going to weigh this okay and then 1.2 grams of this, okay, this needs to boil again.

I just want to

make

one more string because I feel like there's still a little bit of bread residue in there now that we're going to go in or Boylan, okay, go, okay, let's get this in the walk-in, okay, now let's go with Concord grape syrup, which I don't really have. a recipe for this but I'm just going to pick some of these Conchords cover them with a little sugar and a little water boil them reduce them to syrup strain them we're lucky to be right in the middle of grape season in New York this is at least one crop which is in season while strawberries and raspberries aren't so we're using what we have available again without measuring so I'm starting to use a little bit of water to get them going and sugar and then eventually it bursts and starts to cook and it gets nice and jammy and we'll see what the consistency is like as we go.

Okay, this looks good. It's a little unclear what the consistency will be when it's at room temperature, but we can. I always adjust later, so I'll do a first strain, second strain, okay, be nice, so this is powdered peanut butter, which is peanuts that have been bombarded with just sugar and salt, but I feel like there are chemicals that they have to be. something here, come on, it's very intense, try it, it's giving me, it dries your mouth quickly, well, a little goes a long way, so on my first try I'd like to consider it old from my burnt bread raindrop

cake

, it's Well, it moves, but it's not translucent.

We're mad about it. I'm not too mad about it. It's a beautiful thing. Annie, come here, do you love it? Have you ever seen Andy react like that? You love it? Yes, yes, yes, let me get a little more of Morocco. Do you want to try it? Yeah this guy screams Mali so the raindrop cake is made from water that has been infused with burnt bread whoa hey that was a collaborative thing that was a collaboration Wow because this is peanut butter and jelly and I wanted the taste of bread there yes Yes, you think I'm difficult with my green peppers, well, not really, that's all, that's because of your attitude, so you want to like the taste so good, it's like you taste a butter sandwich and jam that sank like a bucket on the beach. like a bucket of water Bobby, yeah, I'm thinking a little flaky, I mean, but it tastes like PB&J.

I came by car, thanks, hey, you know, touch, I needed to thicken a little more. I think it was very rewarding to have managed to not only recreate the raindrop but then to be able to put my spin on it and create something that I thought was quite visually stunning, it's definitely more delicious. I still don't think it's a great cake. I like that, okay, these guys are coming. It's much easier, I think this pink is very pretty, but I actually really like the gold raindrops. Oh, four, seven, take it to the streets. I'm going to give them to people on the streets.

Well, any time. We finished, the man on the street was with Carla. I think so, have you ever had a raindrop cake? No, have you heard of raindrop cake? Yes, you are my first raindrop cake. Well, I've never had one either until today, so "We're in the same boat all of you cases, wow, sorry, what does it taste like peanut butter? Thanks, my job here is done. You know what's good ?This is called raindrop cake. Put a little bit of everything in there. Yes, yes, yes, it tastes like peanut butter, it's good, I want to take that dish that's for people to say that.

It's good, it's called raindrop cake, yes, it should look like a raindrop, it looks like a good bite, a little nutty, yes, Rudy, yes, if this was something like that reward for you, no. You paid for Eddie, you would pay for it, don't be afraid, I wouldn't make you something disgusting for bed, yes, yes, no, this is good food, thank you all for coming here I think more of us would recognize it right away. what this dessert is and it turns out that it's actually nothing like raindrop cake and also not everyone knows it, which makes me feel better, but everyone understood that it was peanut butter. and jelly sandwich into a gourmet dessert and I think it turned out quite delicious, yes this is like the most gourmet peanut butter and jelly, yes it's a bit of a stretch, it will be unpleasant.
